Here's a little factual excerpt from the file GREYS,
about the weirdos started
up by L.Ron Hubbard, who spend $30,000 apiece to get "clear".
Although the face the public sees is the odious semi-
military cult face of the Church of Scientology, buried in
the Church are dozens of volumes of L. Ron Hubbard's
writings, much of it "confidential" and guarded zealously
by (appropriately enough) zealots. When you get into the
shadowy "upper levels" of the Church, you become privy to
greater and greater portions of L. Ron Hubbard's
description of the big SF novel we're living in. This
worldview shares some ground with the EBE scenario. To our
mind, one of the striking features is a similar feeling of
"weirdness", as if it were ,too strange for anybody to
create. Hubbard makes an interesting distinction between
bodies and spirits, claiming that there are races of
spirits as different as races of bodies from different
planets, and that a kind of mix 'n match is possible, so
that the same "family" of beings could wind up in wildly
different bodies - or that different "races" of spirits
could be inhabiting genetically similar bodies.
Anyway, Hubbard claims that we have all been around as
immortal beings for incredibly long times, and that there
are indeed alien races roaming around out in space, many of
whom are aware of us here, and some of whom are involved in
our affairs. In particular, some pernicious aliens are
here on Earth, and have machinery to trap beings as they
leave dying bodies. Once trapped they can be subjected to
a program of brainwashing and indoctrination and finally
forced amnesia, so that all memories of past lives and
between-lives manipulation is erased.The premise of all this
is immortality and reincarnation.
Hubbard claims that coercive, technological
civilizations will inevitably develop mind-control
techniques, because only a mental-spiritual control
mechanism is useful and efficient to dominate immortals
living in body after body.
Hubbard makes much of "doll bodies", which are small,
possibly inorganic bodies animated by beings and used,
among other purposes, during space flights. He claims that
they are also less subject to damage from sudden
acceleration. His descriptions, which date from the late
'50's, sound disturbingly like EBE portraits.
Hubbard insisted that the human race was on the brink of
several types of disasters, which often involved the
intervention of aliens or the collapse of Earthly
civilization from the weight of between-lives assaults and
great advances in chemical and hypnotic mind control. He
pushed rank-and-file Scientologists, via his endless
streams of letters, advices, issues, and so on to get
"processed" into a state where one could resist the
between-life "implants" and retain one's memory from one
life to another (and much more, but this is the basic
scenario).
Talk about ALIEN, Hows that?
